Free Class on the Archeology of Utah

How long have humans lived in Utah?

When did people start farming and growing corn?

Why did the Anasazi abandon their homes in southern Utah?

These are some of the questions to be explored in a free one-day class on the archaeology of Utah, offered on October 20 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Rio Grande Depot. The class will introduce the concept of archaeology and the prehistoric cultures of Utah.

It is free and is open to the public. Participants must pre-register by sending an e-mail to rrood@utah.gov with “October Class” in the subject line, or by calling Assistant State Archaeologist Ron Rood at 801/533-3564. The class is sponsored by State History’s Antiquities Section and the Utah Statewide Archaeological Society.
